The Bedecked Buckaroo: Cowboy Clothing in the Early Texas PanhandleGrades K-745 Minutes

Cowboys in the Texas Panhandle faced many obstacles including weather, wildlife and wily livestock. Thus, the cowboy traveled light and owned very little. Every article of clothing and equipment had to be functional and serve a multitude of purposes. This program will discuss the role of cowboy clothing on the range and the purpose of each piece. We will also talk about the role of cattle drives, early Panhandle ranches and the origin of barbed wire.

Cost is $100 with a max of 30 students.
